Believing that education is the pathway to true global understanding, the Shelby Cullom Davis family has selected five U.S. boarding schools to participate in an international student pilot program.
The goal of the program is to attract highly motivated, potential future leaders who will benefit from the educational opportunities of select American boarding schools. Initial grants will be awarded in the 2008-2009 academic year.
The Davis family will award grants of up to $20,000 per student, per year based on demonstrated need. Students may enroll in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades as well as during the postgraduate year. Upon graduation from one of these five schools, Davis Scholars will be eligible for continued scholarship support should they enroll at any of the 89 Davis United World Scholars colleges and universities which now support more than 1400 students from 126 countries.
The five boarding schools selected to participate are Andover (MA), Emma Willard (NY), Lawrenceville (NJ), Taft (CT), and Westminster (CT). The Heads of all five schools point to the fact that the Davis family will extend their support through the undergraduate years as an especially powerful aspect of the program.
In supporting highly motivated and talented students from around the world, the Davis family looks to create a cadre of future leaders, Americans and non-Americans alike, whose shared perspectives and experiences will prepare them to collaborate effectively in a demanding, complex global universe
